Heavy Rain Storms.
A storm of unusual severity visited
New England last Saturday, Sunday
and Monday. In this vicinity the rain
fell in torrents, but no serious damage
was done aside from the injury to hay

ever, the rivers were swollen as they
never were before at this season of the
year. In Western Massachusetts the
damage by the storm was more serious
than elsewhere, numb of lives be-

''He is such a tickle, inconstant fellow. you
will never be happy with him." said Esther f
friends when they learned of her engage
ment to a young man who bore the reputa'
ton of being a sad flirt. Esther, however,
knew that her lover had good qualities. and
she was willing TO take the risk. In uine
cases out of ten it would have proved 6
mistake; but Esther was an uncommon girl
and TO every ones surprise Fred made e
model husband. How was itl Well Esther
had cheerful, sunny temper and great
deal of tact. Then she enjoyed perfect
health and was always 20 sweet, neat and
wholesome that Fred found his own home
most pleasant, and his own wife more agree
able than any othe- being. As the year
passed and he saw other women of Esther'f
age grow sickly, faded and querulous, he
realized more and more that he had
"a Jewel of a wife" Good health was
half the secret OF Esther's success. She re
tanned her vitality and good looks, because
she warded of feminine weaknesses and all
ments by the use OF DIR. Pierce's Favolite
Prescription.
